Hi
Check to see if you have Google Desktop installed.
If so, remove it.
It can be a killer for speed.

My machine is 4 Mo old, and have 2M of RAM, running on Vista, no add ins,
but
all of my Exel files are 2003 or older. I need to be compatable to 2003.

Is your PC really old?
Do you have much RAM? (this thing has 1G of RAM, running WinXP)
Do you have any add-ins loaded that might not be completely compatible
with
2007?

Dear Experts,

I have a 'new" excel 2007 & need to run in compatability mode because
most
of my associates have 2003.

Almost all functions - from cut and paste or copy and paste are delayed
while the little blue circle thing spins. Usually form 4 to 10
seconds. it
really adds up. What can I do to correct ?
Thanks
